I have a bed frame to hold the mattress, but how do I know it will work with this? It is a standard metal bed frame...are they all the same?

I have never figured out how to attach my frame (which also came with no directions) to this. I have them as seperate units which seems to work ok... Wish I could be more help.

You need a bed frame call Hollywood bed frame. It has brackets at both ends.

Hello. No you do not need a bed frame it's slips right on top of metal perfectly. This is why I purchased it. Hope that answers your. ? Good luck I love mines .

It should be fine because the metal frame that goes under the mattress is a solid piece that has a cross bar. What goes under looks the same as what you see on top, only it is longer - very stable. This is a good product that is very helpful for getting in and out of bed and when standing.

Maybe - one issue I had with the slats is that they moved around on my wood framed bed so I used screws to fix their position. On a standard metal frame, it depends on how well the slats fit horizontally across the bed frame. If it's snug, you might get by without fixing the slats in place; otherwise, epoxy might be necessary to hold them in place.

yes it will work on a metal frame. you may need to drill 6 holes to attach it. It has feet instead of roller wheels so doesn't roll when you move the bed. You can find models with wheels

IMHO, a metal frame would not work. You need wooden slats to hold up the matress. However, the slats that come with the bed are questionable at best. If you buy this bed, go to Home Depot and buy a supportive peice of plywood to go underneath instead of the slats ($20).

I have a regular metal frame. It isn't attached, it just sets between your bed and the wall. It is wide enough for the fram, but they made it too low. I had to get some boards from Home Depot and boost it up about a foot or your pillows will slide into the bottom shelf.

I use a regular box spring and standard metal frame under it and have the headboard attached to the metal frame. The headboard looks great I just love it. It's slightly lighter in real life than the pictures. Amazon doesn't sell the complete bed ( the matching frame with would hide the box spring) but an easy solve was getting a tailored bed skirt. It really looks great. As far as the metal platform you're referring to I'd assume as long as there is somewhere on the bed to attach the headboard to it should work. But I think just a standard box spring frame would be all that's needed. I hope that was helpful.

Patricia, I concur with the others who have replied, this type of bed frame is designed for a box spring and mattress. What you may want to consider is a platform bed which is designed to support a mattress alone. Hope this helps.

This functions like a bedframe and box spring in one. I put my memory foam mattress directly on it, (with only a bedskirt between for aesthetic purposes). It really does add the same support you would get from a box spring; I must admit I have been impressed with it.

We bought it to use with the memory foam mattress we got for our son and his wife and they love it. It fits on the metal frame made for foam mattresses perfectly. According to our son it was very easy to assemble. Hope this information is helpful to you.

I have a box spring on this frame and the only issue I have is that the box spring moves around easily if you try to move your mattress, etc. We are going to solve that by putting screws through the frame into the box spring.

That depends on the kind of frame. Mine only had one end that I could attach to, so I flipped it around, attached the bottom end, and then pushed the bed against the wall the hold the head board. Not the greatest, butnitnworks just fine and I have not had any problems with it.

U need a specific frame. I wish I would have known this before I purchased the bed.

I got only the mattress, and I don't think you will need a base. It's really thick and I have it on a platform bed. Works just fine. Hmm.. I am guessing, though, you might need something more than just the metal frame. You need something solid supporting the mattress like slats or a solid board.

I have a metal frame for my boxspring and mattress. There are screws that come with the headboard, and they easily fit into the predrilled ones on your bed frame. The headboard has also got predrilled holes. I screwed them together before I put the uooer part of the headboard on so I could easily align the holes. Just make sure to read directions carefully before starting.

It does attach to a standard metal bed frame. I have the headboard near the wall I wouldn't put all my weight on it but it is sturdy. I think it's a good headboard for the money. The hardware was included not always the case.
